In 1992, then-US President George H. W. Bush signed into law the John F Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, compelling the US National Archives to publish documents surrounding Kennedy’s death within 25 years.

However, there was a get-out clause in the act which stated public disclosure could be delayed if it threatened “military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations.”

A report by Politico Magazine, which cited Trump administration insiders, suggested the president could block some documents from seeing the light of day. A US government spokesperson reportedly told the magazine that the White House is working “to ensure the maximum amount of data can be released to the public”.

Seeing as how the CIA and the deep state has been working 24/7 to sabotage Trump's presidency, releasing these files in full would be a great way to get some leverage back. I said months ago Trump should play hardball with the deep state by releasing evidence of their crimes. He has the power to declassify anything as president.
